Many restaurants prepare it alongside some carrot soup. Others include a cooked potato as part of the delicacy. A common recipe that includes coconut oil involves melting the oil for about eight minutes then adding some onions before seasoning with salt.

Curry ginger soup can be served as a dessert after meals or you can pair it with some fresh lime wedges. Some people serve it with rice although this is not recommended since it tends to impair the rich taste of the soup itself.
